Expandable Mobile Hospitals

A Hercules C-130 plane lands in a local airport. Inside the plane are a medical staff and a number of containers. A few hours later, the containers have been transformed into a mobile hospital, where physicians and nurses will find the adequate medical supplies and facilities to deal professionally with the problems on the ground.

It might be a catastrophe area with thousands of wounded and dead people. The swift intervention provided by the mobile hospital will undoubtedly save many people from dying, and prevent epidemics from breaking out. It can assist in developing countries, where comprehensive medical services cease to exist. Compared to a stationary hospital, the mobile hospital units are flexible, easy to construct and installed at a low price.

This is the unique concept of the MCC Mobile Hospital Unit: an inexpensive, effective and flexible solution in a situation where the traditional stationary is of little help. The MCC Mobile Hospital has been developed in close cooperation with highly esteemed international physicians, technicians and hospital equipment manufacturers. MCC Group is in regular consultation with medical experts with experience in Africa, South America and other continents.

The MCC Mobile Hospital programme also includes a worldwide network of agents who will ensure the necessary service to the equipment. Training of the technical staff will be provided in cooperation with local firms, thus securing continuous and effective maintenance.
